A train track is 5280ft. long. After adding another foot of track, an arc is created. What is the height of the arc and how would i measure it?
FIND THE LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE OF 6,9
The maximum height is given by
[2640(5280) + h^2 = [2640(5280) + 0.50]^2^2 making h = 1.94 ft.
This assumes each half of the track buckles up as two triangles.
The true arc height change is not possible tocalulate on the normal scientific calculator, I believe.
The arc height from the associated chord is given by h = R(1 - cos(µ/2) where R = the central radius and µ = the central angle subtended by the ars.
2+2=
The lcm of 6 and 9 is 18. It's 18 'cause 6times 3= 18 and 9 times 2=18.
